Found My Place

What are we doing here?

Our key objective is to build the self-reporting habit within our talent pool to measure impact and ensure sustained progress. By encouraging regular career updates and cultivating a culture of self-reporting, we aim to move beyond trend-driven placements and establish a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impact of our programs.

How will we do it?

The aim of this movement is to shift paradigms around self-reporting whereby we pull users to self-report as opposed to pushing them to self-report. 

We plan on doing this through the following:

Roots of Storytelling
Our grounding philosophy is, 'I am because you are.'"In line with this philosophy, we encourage our fellows to find their place in the world and, in doing so, inspire others to do the same.

By shifting the focus from entitlement to empowerment, we find ways for our fellows to realise their potential, while also contributing to the collective growth of the African continent. In doing so, we help rewrite the narrative of the African continent. For every placement we facilitate, a sponsored ALX program becomes available to another young African, ensuring that opportunities are extended to all. Every tech placement is contributing to positioning Africa as a key player in the tech space.

Tagline and Key Messaging
Tagline: #FindYourPlace

Our tagline, #FindYourPlace, encourages Fellows and Learners to figure out where they fit in the world, to inspire others on their journey of self-discovery, and to celebrate their collective career successes. It is a fun and empowering call to action that encourages Fellows and Learners to discover their place in the world, inspire others on their journey, and celebrate their career successes. Through this tagline, we aim to create a sense of community, where individuals support and uplift each other in their quest to find their place.

Anchor messaging- Africa To The World

The concept of "Find your place" will resonate with ALX learners and fellows as they discover their unique talents and contribute to addressing the shortage of tech talent. Our tech talent plays a pivotal role in changing the narrative about the African continent. By emphasising their role as a leading force in the global tech ecosystem and highlighting their role in transforming industries, we can unleash the potential of African talent and take it to the world."

• Purpose Driven Impact- Access to opportunities becomes the gateway for ALX learners and fellows to actualize their bigger purpose and create a transformative impact on the world. By aligning their skills, passions, and aspirations with meaningful work, they manifest their true purpose and contribute to the greater good. Their journey of self-discovery and growth not only addresses the talent shortage but also serves as a powerful testament to the potential within each individual. With purpose as their guiding force, they embrace the challenges, seize the opportunities, and inspire others to do the same, unlocking a future where purpose-driven individuals shape industries, drive innovation, and redefine what is possible.

• Celebrating the Journey: The FMP movement recognizes that success is not just about the final outcomes, but also the process and the personal growth that comes with it. We celebrate the actions, the wins, the failures, and the perseverance of ALX learners and fellows as they navigate their individual journeys in finding their place in the tech industry. Through the "share your journey with us" initiative, we encourage individuals to openly share their experiences, challenges, and achievements, fostering a supportive community that celebrates each step of the way.

• Unleashing Africa's Potential: Africa boasts a wealth of untapped talent in the tech field. ALX learners and fellows represent the next generation of African tech professionals, equipped with the skills and knowledge to drive innovation and create positive change. By nurturing their potential, we unlock a powerful resource that has the potential to transform industries and economies.

• Taking Africa to the World: ALX learners and fellows play a vital role in taking Africa's tech talent to the global stage. By connecting African tech professionals with international opportunities, we bridge the gap between continents and showcase the exceptional capabilities of African talent. Through their contributions, they are changing the narrative, challenging stereotypes, and positioning Africa as a hub of tech excellence.

In summary, our objective is to build the self-reporting habit to measure impact and ensure sustained progress. Through our strategy of kick-starting a movement, embracing the roots of storytelling, and utilizing the #FindYourPlace tagline, we aim to cultivate a culture of self-reporting, inspire individuals to find their place, celebrate their career successes, and the impact they are making on the world
